A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group of automorphisms of an associative ring R. Then the inner automorphisms (x↦ u−1xu = xu, for some unit u of R) contained in G form a normal subgroup G0 of G. In general, the Galois theory associated with the outer automorphism group G/G0 is quit well behaved (e.g. [7], 2·3–2·7, 2·10), while little group-theoretic restriction on the structure of G/G0 may be expected (even when R is a commutative field). The structure of the inner automorphism groups G0 does not seem to have received much attention so far. Here we classify the finite groups of inner automorphisms of division rings, i.e. the finite subgroups of PGL (1, D), where D is a division ring. Such groups also arise in the study of finite collineation groups of projective spaces (via the fundamental theorem of projective geometry, cf. [1], 2·26), and provide examples of finite groups having faithful irreducible projective representations over fields.

Let [Formula: see text] be a noncommutative division ring with center [Formula: see text], which is algebraic, that is, [Formula: see text] is an algebraic algebra over the field [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be an antiautomorphism of [Formula: see text] such that (i) [Formula: see text], all [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are positive integers depending on [Formula: see text]. If, further, [Formula: see text] has finite order, it was shown in [M. Chacron, Antiautomorphisms with quasi-generalised Engel condition, J. Algebra Appl. 17(8) (2018) 1850145 (19 pages)] that [Formula: see text] is commuting, that is, [Formula: see text], all [Formula: see text]. Posed in [M. Chacron, Antiautomorphisms with quasi-generalised Engel condition, J. Algebra Appl. 17(8) (2018) 1850145 (19 pages)] is the question which asks as to whether the finite order requirement on [Formula: see text] can be dropped. We provide here an affirmative answer to the question. The second major result of this paper is concerned with a nonnecessarily algebraic division ring [Formula: see text] with an antiautomorphism [Formula: see text] satisfying the stronger condition (ii) [Formula: see text], all [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are fixed positive integers. It was shown in [T.-K. Lee, Anti-automorphisms satisfying an Engel condition, Comm. Algebra 45(9) (2017) 4030–4036] that if, further, [Formula: see text] has finite order then [Formula: see text] is commuting. We show here, that again the finite order assumption on [Formula: see text] can be lifted answering thus in the affirmative the open question (see Question 2.11 in [T.-K. Lee, Anti-automorphisms satisfying an Engel condition, Comm. Algebra 45(9) (2017) 4030–4036]).

Finiteness Conditions

Many authors have investigated the behaviour of the elements of finite order of a group G when finiteness conditions are imposed on the automorphism group Aut G of G. The first result was obtained in 1955 by Baer [1], who proved thata torsion group with finitely many automorphisms is finite. This theorem was generalized by Nagrebeckii in [6], where he proved that if the automorphism group Aut G is finite then the set of elements of finite order of G is a finite subgroup.

Finitely Generated

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.

Integration Rules

Abstract Finite-order weights have been introduced in recent years to describe the often occurring situation that multivariate integrands can be approximated by a sum of functions each depending only on a small subset of the variables. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the danger of relying on this structure when designing lattice integration rules, if the true integrand has components lying outside the assumed finiteorder function space. It does this by proving, for weights of order two, the existence of 3-dimensional lattice integration rules for which the worst case error is of order O(N¯½), where N is the number of points, yet for which there exists a smooth 3- dimensional integrand for which the integration rule does not converge.

Abstract In the paper we present the selected properties of composition relation of the convergent and divergent permutations connected with commutation. We note that a permutation on ℕ is called the convergent permutation if for each convergent series ∑an of real terms, the p-rearranged series ∑ap(n) is also convergent. All the other permutations on ℕ are called the divergent permutations. We have proven, among others, that, for many permutations p on ℕ, the family of divergent permutations q on ℕ commuting with p possesses cardinality of the continuum. For example, the permutations p on ℕ having finite order possess this property. On the other hand, an example of a convergent permutation which commutes only with some convergent permutations is also presented.
